Beggars Opera - Open Letter lyrics

Well people put me down because of the way I sing They don't seem to realize I'm just doing my own thing And if I dance around and I act like a clown It's just that I'm felling down so please don't frown To those who critise It comes as no surprise It's easy to see that you don't want to be entertained But many times I've tried but I've denied myself For being myself for that's all I wanted to be So how can you say that I'm being someone else You don't know me – do you know who you are yourself? To those who critise It comes as no surprise It's easy to see that you don't want to be entertained To those who compare I don't really care Your not really the one's who are to blame So listen one more time and if my lines don't rhyme Please forgive I'm just doing my best And if my band's too loud please don't put me down The reason we're here is we're trying to please you To those who critise It comes as no surprise It's easy to see that you don't want to be entertained To those who compare I don't really care Your not really the one's who are to blame
